If we need to use fresh onions in a prepared dish, then a serious problem may arise.
The fact is that this vegetable can have a very persistent and noticeable bitter taste.
This will simply ruin the dish, as it will create an imbalance of components, notes Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
Most often, it is recommended to resort to the process of marinating the vegetable. If this method does not suit you for some reason, then you can consider alternative options.
Which of them can be used?
Ice water
A simple and practical method that you can safely try. Chop the vegetable. Then put it in a container with cold water and ice.
After about 15 minutes you can drain the water and use the onion.
Salt
Coarse salt will also cope with the task perfectly. It is worth combining chopped onion with this ingredient and waiting no more than 15 minutes.
The onion will need to be washed under water and you can start cooking.
